Third- the dealer would not charge $1200 to do the same work- thats rediculous. They probably wanted to blend the paint onto the surrounding panels (hense why its 3Xs as much because they are doing 3Xs more work)

Depending on your color, blending is the way to go because if you refinish just one door its going to stand out in certian light- pics would help and I could write you an estimate from the body shop I work out to comapare-

I already posted the pic on page 3, it would be great if you can give me a quote.

I know how you feel bro. My car was keyed about 3 weeks ago down the passenger side while it was parked at the mall. The worst part is I parked out in the middle of god damn nothing, atleast 100 yards from the closest car and they still got me. They had to make a special trip out to where I was parked so they could key it so they must have been super jealous, haha!! Anyway, dealer quoted $650 to fix it and other local shops were around $450. I have not gotten it fixed yet as I am still deciding what route I want to go and if I want to put it on insurance.
